Sorry for being a bit vague there.  There is no is25wp256 in the list already, 
but if I follow the pattern from the other similar chips I get a different 
value for is25wp256 than what was proposed in the patch for an is25wp256d.  
>From my understanding the different values are just because we picked a 
different block size, which seems possible because the original version of this 
patch was written before the other is25wp devices were added to the list.

What I'm proposing is adding an is25wp256 with the same block size as the other 
similar entries in the list.  Looking at the data sheets they appear to have 
the same values for the "Read Product Identification" instruction.

The data sheets are shared with the is25lp256, which there is an entry for and 
matches my expected ID and block sizes.
